COMMON DESIGN MISTAKES | Home Office Design Mistakes (PLUS How to Fix Them!)
I started working from home over 11 years ago when I began my design business. While I made my share of mistakes with my work from home setup along the way, I began to become very adept at carving out a dedicated studio space; one where I can maximize productivity and efficiency while staying at home. For myself and my team, I’ve learned how to creatively solve my issues with space, ergonomics, and work-life balance and I wanted to share my top tips on the common mistakes I see made and how to effectively solve them.
My goal for this video is to help you design a home office space that is comfortable, energizing, elevated and uplifting.

I should have watched this video as soon as it came out! When I first started WFH, I made just about every mistake you called out. I recently went through a job search this year. My initial interviews were conducted with me facing the wall (I didn't get any offers) but once I turned my desk around in a 'command' position facing the door, I nailed all interviews the following week and received 3 job offers. Julie, you sure know what you're talking about. Glad I found your series!

I plug in all my lamps, etc. into a power strip attached to the underside of my desk, then I just have the one cord going to the adjacent wall. It really neatens up my office and I no longer catch my feet or chair legs on all those annoying cords. The router and all that is in a basket secured underneath the other work table, in my L-shaped work area.

I did what you said one thing at the time first buying a light weight white desk long enough to support monitor pc, then a tray for key boar and mouse. Now waithing on the chair..and of course shooping my home first for decor. Congratulations on this video.

Brilliant suggestions - just got my husband to move his desk to a more "in command" position. He used to have it there anyway, then for some strange reason moved it to facing a wall where his back was to the door - ewwhh soooo not good.... Well sadly he lost his job at the beginning of year 2023, however fast forward to now - with his great skillset and experience, he got his new position plus I made sure he had some great crystals to hand, With your guidance, I persuaded him, this weekend, that he needed to move his desk position back to where it was which was in a good 'In Command Position' facing the door - let the good times roll!!! Thank you x

Love your channel and all the help you're always giving, but just wanted to add: the feng shui rule to have the desk not against a wall is perfect for certain types of offices. For ex: we just designed our new home office, and just like our current one, we put an ultra long double desk (actually made from a kitchen countertop :-p) againt a wall: we're a couple of gamers working from home in gaming/cloud engineering: we need our wall mount screens (2 each) and multiples computers with the associated lighting bouncing of the wall behind our screens. And we like to look at each other screens, so sometimes functionnality has to come first and the ideal design second ;-) like you always say, we need to adapt to our way of living^^

Hi Julie! I just found your channel and I’m so glad I did! I just moved into my new condo in October, and while I love decorations and interior design, I’m really no good at it. I’m trying to go for that modern farmhouse look, which is pretty easy considering it’s “ all the rage” right now. Reminds me of pumpkin spice lattes haha. For my office space, I’m a fifth grade teacher, so I’ve been working from home a lot lately. I also love to craft and make things, so I have a lot of “supplies,” like A LOT! I also have tons of text books and teachers manuals. My desk is currently under the window 🤦🏻‍♀️. I need help lol. I have no idea how to get my stuff in an aesthetically pleasing situation while also being functional. Also, can you put an area rug on top of a carpet? Would that be weird? Do you know of anyone that works in Las Vegas that could help a sister out? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Love your channel! So glad I found you! You’re a pleasure to watch.

I really this video. I am one to want my desk in front of the window. I close the shades for less light while I work. Open up shades while I break or end the day. I prefer Spring, Fall and Winter over the summer months. I would prefer to work from home than go to an office outside the home. I have learned to value my personal time.

Any suggestions for making your home office double as your home gym? I’m actually looking to make my home office multi-purpose for 1) work from home life 2) daily work out / gym space 3) music room with a piano (maybe leveraging the closet, removing the doors from the hinges). What does feng shui say about this? Any videos on making spaces multi-functional? Thank you!!

Good general advice ... but, in today's workspace design principles should incorporate streaming, and video conferencing. Having a window behind you - not a good idea. Instead of "natural lighting" design should be around "controlled lighting". Anyway, I got some great ideas for a legacy office setup.

I totally agree with you on the point. You really impressed me at the time 4:40 when you said it should be facing the door. This is so ridiculously awesome point that every video of home office set keep missing it. Finally it is about privacy and being in control of the space. I do not want to be ghosted from behind my back. So many other idiots keeps telling in their videos that use your wall for screen placement and hide the wires etc.

So helpful!! Especially now that I work from home due to COVID. I was wondering if you have any Videos that help with the basics of design. I recently moved into a house (rental) for the first time and I have no clue how of where to start selecting furniture and decor. It’s harder than I expected! I feel overwhelmed. Any other videos for clueless beginners like me would be appreciated lol.

My home office has many of the issues you have mentioned. However, my main issue is that I'm 18 and will continue living with my parents for a long time (my university will be close to my home). Therefore to have some privacy, my office is also my bedroom and my overal options to make some change are limited. Still, I will try doing my best to follow your advice as much as I can.

Hide the laptop at night, keep your paperwork neat, tidy and hidden away. That will help immensely 👍🏻

Technically, yes- however having your back against the room and facing the wall is another Feng Shui no-no. But we can’t win them all, so do what you feel works best for your energy and sleep Chibi! 👍🏻

Hi Julie, Are you planning on doing another video on office design, Feng Shui, and the dreaded cord management? I work from home and converted my dining room into a home office. Currently using a dining table in the command position facing the entrance. I have a solid wall behind me and a big picture window to the left. I am looking to purchase a desk or dining room table similar to the one at timestamp 5:12 from Kelly Behun studio. Problem is I have two monitors, a central hug to plug everything in, a laptop, and then cords going to the outlets. Cord management with an open desk in command position is a big problem. I am watching a lot of videos on cord management to see how people hide their cords and it is a lot of work. Especially if you are trying to have a stylish office and incorporate Feng Shui. Would love to see a video on this problem and some of your cord management ideas that leaves your office a stylish, functional workspace. Thanks.
